Bridge Carols, the 2010 project from Portland, OR friends Laura Gibson and Ethan Rose, takes the listener to a place that exists between the notes and behind the words of modern music. Bridge Carols began as a conversation of mutual appreciation and curiosity - a shared desire to challenge old ways of working. Inspired by Lauras voice, Ethan began building soundscapes, while Laura looked through piles of notebooks, coming across old phrases, improvising lyrics and wordless vocalizations, stream of consciousness singing. Ethan then took the recorded words and vocalizations from these sessions - cutting them into bits and pieces - rearranging and juxtaposing them against each other to stretch them into new musical poems. The resulting pieces developed into songs. The songs developed into Bridge Carols, a record of deep atmosphere and an almost sublingual resonance.
